Outside Shrek Academy!
Upon seeing the exceptionally young Yuanen Yehui, who was emitting a strong aura...
The politician of the Federation immediately extended his hand, saying, "You must be Elder Yuan'en of the Sea God's Pavilion, I presume? I am a council member of the Federation!"
Although it was known that the newly promoted Elders of the Sea God Pavilion were very young, no one expected them to be only in their twenties!!
Yuanen Yehui performed a symbolic handshake and then inquired, "Hmm, may I know the purpose of your visit?"
A grave expression came over the other's face as they explained, "It's like this, the Elders of Sea God Pavilion must already be informed about the situation in the Federation, haven't they?"
Yuanen Yehui, somewhat puzzled, pressed on, "I'm not quite understanding your meaning!"
Hearing this, the council member rubbed his head vigorously, "Right, right, right, it's my fault for not making it clear. It's like this, not long ago, our Chairman was attacked by an evil Soul Master and has perished!"
Yuanen Yehui nodded slightly, indicating understanding...
When the incident had just occurred, the Federation announced it through communicators…
Moreover, there was no request for the members of the Federation to conceal it; various powers could easily uncover the information if they wished!
Taking a deep breath, the other continued, "Elder Yuan'en must also be aware that the Chairman was the leader of our Federation, no, the head of the Federation!"
"His death is a massive blow to the Federation, even causing many plans to be scrapped!"
"Among them, including the God-slaying soul-guided missiles!!"
Yuanen Yehui couldn't help but exclaim, "Aren't the God-slaying soul-guided missiles what the Federation uses to sanction the Spirit Pagoda? Even if the Chairman met with misfortune, it should not stop the action!"
The politician bowed his head, appearing somewhat helpless, "Originally, that was the case, but after deliberation by the Federation council members and the War God Hall, there is suspicion that the evil Soul Master's assault on the Chairman might be related to the Spirit Pagoda!"
Yuanen Yehui's expression subtly shifted, "No...that's impossible, right? The Spirit Pagoda is now the top power; there's no need for them to collude with evil Soul Masters at all!"
You should know that the current Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda is Gu Yue. Suspecting the Spirit Pagoda of secret cooperation with evil Soul Masters would be tantamount to suspecting Gu Yue, wouldn't it?
As a former close friend, she couldn't accept this fact!
But the former, with complete seriousness, responded, "Nothing is impossible. I know Elder Yuan'en was once friends with Gu Yuena, but don't forget, as the Pagoda Master, she will definitely act in the best interest of the Spirit Pagoda, using any means necessary!"
"Just like Qian Gu Dongfang in the past, who also had secret collaborations with the Spirit Pagoda!"
Yuanen Yehui hesitated, "This..."
She couldn't ensure that such a thing would not happen!
Therefore, she also didn't know how to refute...
Seeing her waver, the council member pressed on, "After saying so much, Elder Yuan'en, may I be allowed to enter Shrek Academy? There are more important matters that I need to discuss with the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion!"
Yuanen Yehui signaled to the disciples guarding the outer yard who then stepped aside...
"Please come in..."
The council member did not dally, and hastily entered...
...
Federation Headquarters!
The one sitting in the main seat was not the Chairman, but the Hall Master of the War God Hall, Guan Yue!
Following his initial suggestion, it was to quickly elect a politician to serve as the new Chairman to lead the big picture.
```
But the final result of the discussion was not to hold an election, instead letting oneself oversee the entire situation!
Guan Yue glanced over the council members and the War Gods, and spoke, "Since I am to temporarily lead the federation, then first, we need to address one issue!"
"That is the safety of the council members present!"
"To avoid another incident of an evil Soul Master attack, I suggest that each War God protect one council member. If anyone has any objections, feel free to speak up!"
Upon hearing this, the War Gods did not show any emotion, which clearly indicated they had been informed of this matter beforehand!
However, the council members... they didn't see it that way...
One of the council members took the lead, saying, "Hall Master Guan, although having a War God for protection greatly increases safety, it also presents many inconveniences"
Another council member chimed in, "Yes, doing this would also trouble the War Gods. Let's not go through with it!"
"I have no objections. If another council member were to be attacked by an evil Soul Master, that really wouldn't be good!"
"Hmm, the sudden death of the Chairman has already been a major blow to the federation's morale. If more casualties were to occur, the warriors might even start to feel apprehensive!"
"I also agree with Hall Master Guan's suggestion. Although it may be inconvenient, now is a critical time, and these concerns should take a back seat!"
"Agree..."
In a blink of an eye, all the council members had expressed their opinions, with most in agreement, and even those originally in disagreement felt compelled to change their stance...
Guan Yue nodded slightly, "Since the council members have no objections, then let's decide on this!"
Then, moving on, she said, "Now let's discuss another matter—the continuation of the God-Slaying Level soul-guided missile research!"
As soon as these words fell, the previously composed council members became agitated...
"Hall Master Guan, is there even a need to discuss this? The God-Slaying Level soul-guided missile is our only way to defeat the Spirit Pagoda. How can we terminate it!"
"That's right, no matter what happens, the God-Slaying Level soul-guided missile research must not stop, especially when it's so close to completion!"
"In my opinion, to prevent any more mishaps with the God-Slaying Level soul-guided missile, we should suspend it promptly and reconsider after the federation's situation stabilizes!"
"That's not possible. Who knows if the Spirit Pagoda might take this opportunity to infiltrate? If something goes wrong with this missile, the federation is finished!"
"What are you all thinking? The research on the God-Slaying Level soul-guided missile has been problem-free so far, we naturally need to accelerate the progress!"
In an instant, the council members were engaged in a heated debate...
Compared to them, the War Gods were exceptionally calm...
Guan Yue frowned, "War Gods, don't just watch. This concerns the federation, so let's hear your opinions as well!"
Although these War Gods, belonging to the War God Hall, were worried about the federation's safety, they were not nearly as concerned as the council members!
This made her somewhat anxious...
As expected, upon hearing her words, the War Gods finally took action...
"I don't care. Even without the God-Slaying Level soul-guided missile, I won't fear the Spirit Pagoda. If need be, I'll go down fighting alongside it!"
"Exactly, the God-Slaying Level soul-guided missile is just a last resort. Even without it, the strength of our War God Hall is more than enough to defeat the Spirit Pagoda!"
"Well... isn't that a bit too much? Although I also don't think the Spirit Pagoda stands a chance against us!"
